Cheryl Bernard: “Lessons Learned from Sport”
At the age of 23, Cheryl Bernard started
an insurance brokerage and propelled
the agency to six million dollars in
sales in just eleven years. At the age
of 43, she helped Canada win a silver
medal in curling at the 2010 Vancouver
Olympic Games.
Passionate about motivating others
to reach their goals and stressing
the importance of great leadership
and teamwork, Bernard's powerful
presentations draw from both her
business and sport experiences to
inspire audiences to achieve greatness in
everything they do. She is in demand as
a presenter at conferences and corporate
training sessions across Canada.
Cheryl applies her ‘power of focus’
in her most dynamic and popular
presentations: Lessons Learned From
Sport, The Importance of Sport for Youth
and Giving Back – The Responsibilities of
the Medal.
Cheryl and her teammates won
the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials
in 2009 and headed to Vancouver to
represent Canada at the 2010 Winter
Olympics, ultimately taking the
Silver Medal. Two months after
the Olympics, her peers nominated
Cheryl as the 2010 Most Valuable
Player in Women’s Curling.
Cheryl has volunteered on a variety of
boards, including the Canadian Curling
Association and the World Curling
Tour. She created the annual ‘Curl for a
Cure’ in support of the Canadian Breast
Cancer Foundation, raising over 1.3
million dollars for the charity. She was
the Official Spokesperson for the 2010
Terry Fox Run and has done promotional
work for the Alberta Children’s Hospital,
Children's Miracle Network, Dairy
Queen Miracle Treat Day, Microsoft
